NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has responded to Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's comments regarding the lack of opportunities for pace bowlers in leadership roles. In an interview last month, Bumrah expressed his belief that fast bowlers could make excellent captains, citing the successful captaincies of Kapil Dev and Imran Khan, who led India and Pakistan to World Cup victories, respectively.
However, Basit Ali, in a video on his YouTube channel, disagreed with Bumrah's perspective. He emphasized that both Dev and Khan were appointed as captains only after they had established themselves as all-rounders, not just bowlers.
